Swansea Council is aiming to fully reopen a section of the A4118 in Port Eynon for the weekend coming, after recent heavy rainfall led to a sinkhole appearing recently.
Road repair teams moved in today (Wednesday 11 September) to commence the work and temporarily closed the route for the start of the repairs.
Further temporary closures will be required during the morning of Thursday (12 September) while works are ongoing. A tarmac team will visit on Friday to complete the job and fully reopen the route ahead of the weekend.
Andrew Stevens, Cabinet Member for Environment & Infrastructure, said:
“Our maintenance teams are working as quick as they can to repair the road.
“The narrow nature of this main road to the beach at Port Eynon has meant the work and the temporary closure has created some disruption, both for residents and visitors.
“Thankfully, local people living near by have been very supportive of our efforts to repair the sinkhole despite the disruption.
“I’m also very pleased with the response from our highway maintenance teams. The previous weekend brought many challenges with the heavy rainfall, with teams working throughout the night and the following days.”
